Product Type Strategy

Up until now, products had to be created with a product type template. Now, operators can choose whether to make them optional with the new "Require product types" marketplace configuration setting.

If you want to keep operating as-is, no action is required. Product types will continue to be required unless you turn this setting off.

When product types are optional, you can create products directly without first creating the product type. This offers more flexibility in setting up products in your catalog.

For example, a marketplace for handmade crafts might make product types optional to accommodate the unique and varied nature of its products.
